Moms of Boys; Penis Question

At what age did your Ds start masturbating?
Ds is 4 almost 5 this morning I knocked on the bathroom door no one answered so I went in and found Ds sitting on the hand washing stool... jerking himself.
Isn't he way to young for that?

Mine started humping pillows and such around 3-4.
It seriously weirded me out but his DR says its just that he has discovered the feeling and its totally normal. He said to try not to treat it as a dirty thing.
He is just exploring himself.

My boys both started "exploring" themselves about that age. But at that age they have no satisfying feelings from it. Just that when you mess with it it changes. Don't freak out mama. It's normal.

Oh My. He wasn't Jerking off. He was exploring and feeling his body.

It is VERY normal for a child that age to touch his and feel his penis !

I have 3 boys in case your wondering how I know .

Absolutely not. In fact, studies have shown that kids can masturbate in the womb! Infants can masturbate by rubbing around and young toddlers can do it too---some, as soon as they can reach it! In fact, your son may be "late" in this activity. It's normal, as you know. Just let him know he can only do it at home, in his room, or in the bathroom.
